Cris Gilman

Director of Development

CRIS GILMAN received her B.A. in Fine & Performing Arts from Portland State University. She has 17+ years of experience in development, mostly in an educational setting. To her, the school year is the measure of passing time. She enjoys sewing, crafts, painting, playing with clay, gardening, spending time with her family, friends, and dogs, particularly in warm sunny places and not necessarily in that order. Her favorite thing about Northwest Academy is probably ArtsWeek – that moment when you see EVERYTHING come together, from workshops to performances and all of the magic that happens in between. It’s amazing to watch our students grow.
Cris has been at Northwest Academy since 2017.
